**Please share the following vacancy announcements! ** - apologizing in advance for cross-postings


We are pleased to announce a vacancy for a Program Manager in the USGS Invasive Species Program (General Biologist, GS-14).  Duty station is at USGS HQ in Reston, VA, and the position is in the Office of the Associate Director for Ecosystems. The vacancy closes on September 23.

Scientists funded by the USGS Invasive Species Program work closely with sister DOI bureaus, other federal agencies, states, non-governmental groups, and others to provide data and scientific information to meet management needs. USGS invasive species research encompasses all significant groups of invasive organisms in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems in all regions of the country.  Our partners look to us to help solve complex problems regarding invasive species management. The incumbent for this position will work with the Program Coordinator to manage this diverse and cutting edge research program.

As the Nation's largest water, earth, and biological science and civilian mapping agency, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collects, monitors, analyzes, and provides scientific understanding about natural resource conditions, issues, and problems. The diversity of our scientific expertise enables us to carry out large-scale, multi-disciplinary investigations and provide impartial, timely, and relevant scientific information to resource managers, planners, and other customers related to: the health of our ecosystems and environment; natural hazards that threaten us; natural resources we rely on, and; the impact of climate and land-use changes. For more information about the USGS please visit http://www.usgs.gov<http://www.usgs.gov/>.

Some duties of the position include:

  *   Serves as technical staff expert on invasive species in the USGS Ecosystems Mission Area.
  *   Leads USGS invasive species activities across Ecosystems Mission Area in collaboration with the Department and other agencies and organizations; coordinates with other mission areas and represents USGS at intra-agency meetings.
  *   Develops and evaluates national science program strategies and activities in collaboration with other agencies and organizations to address invasive species issues.
  *   Prepares materials and communications to explain, support, advocate and defend invasive species research in the USGS, the Department, the Office of Management and Budget, other agencies and organizations, and before Congressional staff and committees.
  *   Manages and tracks the invasive species budget, develops budget justifications and initiatives, establishes funding priorities, and ensures consistency with Ecosystem Mission Area goals.
